The 768h orphan token in external-secrets/openbao-audit-core-eso-token
expired at 2026-09-14T10:23Z and ClusterSecretStore lookup-self is 403,
so ESO cannot mint database/creds/audit-core-runtime. Recreate the
Kubernetes Secret without last-applied-configuration so the token is
not stored in annotation metadata.

Database leases come from ClusterSecretStore openbao-audit-core-database
(one extract, one lease). Senders are minted in-cluster. Secret mounts
use fsGroup 10001. Schema 0001-0004 applied after dropping the isolation
stub events table. /readyz reports custody_class=archive.
VaultDynamicSecret pulls database/creds/* so a rotating lease is not frozen
into KV. Runtime sets AUDIT_CORE_AUTO_MIGRATE=0; schema is a Job with the
migration lease. Image base is digest-pinned. Namespace and NetworkPolicies
are on the cluster; Deployment waits for the attended OpenBao ESO token.
